FIA: "Start of SQ2 will be delayed due to an issue with timing systems, some lap times had not been registered. That is now resolved and the current timings are considered correct. We are investigating whether we can proceed with the rest of the session." #F1 #SingaporeGP

I mean maaaaybe the reason people think Toto favours one driver over another is the number of times last year he pretty much called Zak Brown an idiot and said he'd never go that far to ensure equal driver treatment.

1. The independent Taskforce — commissioned by NHS England, backed by government — concluded ADHD is under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated in the UK. Not over. The press has reported the reverse of the finding www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Put Wes in a room with a load of 40+ women who have just been diagnosed with ADHD after yearsssss of being told they're JUST anxious or JUST depressed (and just fat probably), who have also since found out they're probably also perimenopausal. See how he feels after an hour in there.

just want to highlight the talking points here again, they're amazing again, this is Ronaldo's instagram essay, his recitation of the talking points he gave to his coach, shared with the intention of making Ronaldo look like the good guy it's incredible
The notes I had approved were as follows:

‘I think it is important, because it is the truth, to clarify a few things before talking about Denmark:

I myself, and no one else, proposed a plan to Cristiano for this season with the national team. It was a long and very good conversation.

I know how much he lives and breathes the national team and the stature he has in the world — and, even more importantly, the weight and positive influence he has had on the national team for 24 consecutive years.

Cristiano accepted the plan I proposed to him.

He never questioned my decisions. He was exemplary, loyal and professional.

The plan I laid out for him did not include the Norway match. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically from the first match and told him that I might need to use him. Cristiano agreed.

I made a mistake by asking someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona to warm up and then not putting him into the game. If it happened today, I would not do it.

To bring the matter to an end: I want Cristiano in the national team. In fact, I do not just want him a little; I want him very much. Fortunately, he also believes in me. He believed in me at Al Nassr and he does here as well.

As for not greeting the supporters: we have already spoken about it. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team does not need lessons from me about loving Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He is the player who signs the most autographs, takes the most selfies and gives the most affection to the supporters. Let us not invent problems where none exist. When we are unhappy, we react. That is all.’

TfL found that there were just 4 pedestrian casualties recorded over three years across 164 bus stop bypasses. So yes, expect a future Tory government to ban floating bus tops, bike lanes and indeed bikes

TalkTalk began as a challenger to BT in the broadband market. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange, but was taken over by private equity in 2021.

Since then, the firm has built up debt while losing customers, leaving it unable to pay some of those it owes money to.

A Rabbi told Anthropic that he personally didn't believe that they were creating conscious beings, but that if Anthropic truly believed they were, then by that definition they were creating slaves, which would obviously be an extremely bad thing
